Bilateral V-Y Advancement Flaps After Posterior Release for Arthrogrypotic Clubfoot: A Case Report.

CASE: A 4-year-old girl with bilateral arthrogrypotic clubfoot underwent posterior release with bilateral V-Y advancement flaps. At 4 months, the patient ambulated independently over moderate distances. One-year follow-up confirmed pain-free functional ambulation, although persistent toe-walking highlighted ongoing neuromuscular challenges and minor correction loss.

CONCLUSION

V-Y advancement flaps provide effective soft tissue coverage after posterior release for arthrogrypotic clubfoot. Early multidisciplinary collaboration integrating orthopedic and plastic surgical planning is essential for optimizing outcomes.
